mightycpa Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Just got to figure out where to go to start over. Easy. 1,000,000 plus people in the city. Tech job, computers, I assume? Find an employer that lets you live wherever you want, you can plug in, turn on, and relocate. IBM springs to mind. HP. Oracle. PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte Consulting, Boston Group, a lot of places will let you telecommute 100%. I haven't been to the office in over 12 years. Single? Willing to travel? Capable? Consulting. I traveled half the globe on the client's dime. For 3 years, I didn't even have a home, I just went to visit wherever I wanted on weekends. Made good money, saved most of it. Yes, the world is different, but no, it isn't impossible. You have the freedom to choose without asking anybody. Use it. Good luck OP.
DazedandConfused8 Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 So tell me guys, something I probably already know. I just need to hear it from you guys before I get weak and end up changing my mind. You're the runner-up. The after-thought. She'll date you until someone else better comes along.
mightycpa Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 now that you can see my face You ARE one ugly sumbitch, as they say in the vernacular down there.
Versacehottie Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 you're good looking. you definitely do not need to settle based on looks. all you need to do is feel good about yourself and send some of that goodness in the right direction. It will stick, promise. If you send it in the direction of someone who treats you like you are second best or worse, the "feel good about yourself" feeling will be fleeting at best. You will feel good by decisively choosing not to see her again and ignoring her since you have your answer. Put your energy with someone who deserves it. Or most importantly yourself until that person comes along.

StanMusial Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Gulf coast is nice but in your situation ATL would be best or NO or Memphis. If you don't have deep roots in that area hell go anywhere really.
Author Natsu21 Posted September 14, 2014 Author Posted September 14, 2014 If she ever does agree to a date with you, take her to the beach, and show up in a McDonald's uniform. You will automatically win at dating. I am rolling. You guys have no idea how much I needed this. You guys are awesome friends and I"m glad I joined this site!
Diezel Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 I'm leaving too. Just got to figure out where to go to start over. Sounds like anywhere else is better, even Haiti. So get to stepping. Maybe you should shift your focus from dating to just moving. Why would you want to find someone in an area you don't even seem to like? Sounds counter-intuitive.
Author Natsu21 Posted September 14, 2014 Author Posted September 14, 2014 Sounds like anywhere else is better, even Haiti. So get to stepping. Maybe you should shift your focus from dating to just moving. Why would you want to find someone in an area you don't even seem to like? Sounds counter-intuitive. Well considering that even though I work on computers, I don't have a JOB in that area... So being poor might have something to do with my situation. I'll be starting from the bottom but you know what? I hate this place, this state...it's horrible. So starting completely over might be good for me. Tyler Perry, for instance, started writing plays when he was living in his car...now he's a multi-millionaire. And he started when he was around my age. So it's never too late to follow your dreams. But you got to be willing to take the risks to do so. And small town living just ain't for me.

If you don't have deep roots in that area hell go anywhere really. Deep roots? I don't even have any friends. The only thing keeping me from moving quicker is the knowledge that I don't have any money. Ironically, if I don't move, I won't make any money. But I can scrape enough for a ticket and some cash on the side...then I'll be on my own so I'll be fine.

I moved at age 29 with less than $500 dollars to my time. I realized, I could either keep making excuses or I could start making things happen. I started from the bottom (again) at age 30. Now, I have people working for me. Granted, I had to put my dating life on hold for about 2 years, but I say it was WELL worth it. 1
